Some Criticisms on the Fair.-Mr. H. P.
Lucas, the equine editor of the Sunday American,
attended our late county fair and was moved to
criticise, (not unjustly, we think) some of the
things he saw there. He says
at was fully demonstrated on Wednesday that
the Baltimore County Agricultural Society is in
need of grand stand which will protect patrons
from the elements. The shower which came up
suddenly on this day completely drenched those
who were huddled together under muslin thing
called "grand stand" Such structure is a
disgrace to any association, and especially one
patronized by the elite of Baltimore county. Be-
sides being disgrace, it is unsafe for such crowds
as were on it last Thursday.
"There should also be some attention paid to
placing the track in better condition, so that a
horse can trot over it without the risk of being
made cripple for life. No driver, at all famil-
lar with what q track should be, would venture
over it at high rate of speed with valuable
horse This was the reason Fred. Medium did
not start in the free-for-a all class. His owner or
driver being judge of such matters, positively
refused to allow him to 60 over such miserable
thing called race course.
"In order to bring irst-class horses together to
compete in races, you have got to have first
class track. The first question a driver asks when
talking about entering at certain place is "What
kind of a track have they?" What does any one
suppose will be the answer of Fred Mediums
driver when asked this question about the limo
mum track next year, and, especially, when no
has got to pay his entrance money with no show
to win. If they want good horses to compete ON
their course, they have got to provide them with
a good track.
"Taking all things into consideration, there could
be a decided improvement in many ways in con-
Quoting the races at this prosperous fair. That
the races are badly judged is popular verdict.
Running, skipping and skiring are just as legiti-
mate as honest trotting there. All of this could
be avoided if there was one paid judge in the
stand who understood the technicalties Of the
trotting turf He could save the society not only
much annoyance, but twice his salary in sitting
upon unruly and turbulent spirits who occupy the
drivers seat and who take all possible advantage
when they know there is no one in the stand who
can check them. With such judge paid Gber-
ally for his services, there would have been sever
al horses sent to their stables at Timonium, in
stead of taking part of the purses in which there
were honest horses honestly driven. Now. we dc
not make the charge that any particular judge in
any of the events just closed either Intentionally
or purposely ordered improper starts or gave
faulty decisions, but it is notorious that there
were some who occupied the position who were
either incompetent or wilfully perverse, and we
hope by these means to see more healthy re-
action before and at the time of the next agricul
tural fair at Timonium."

Conducted Her Own Case.-In the Circuit
Court here on Tuesday last case was tried that
attracted more than usual interest because of one
of its novel features. James j. McCann sued
Margaret Connolly for balance of rent claimed
to be due. The magistrate before whom the case
was first tried, gave judgment against Mccain,
who took an appeal to the Circuit Court. When
the case was called on Tuesday Mrs. Connolly ap-
peared as her own counsel and conducted her case
with great deal of tact, showing that she is
shrewd business woman and one who is able to
take care of herself. But McCann gained the
case and Mrs. Connolly retired with the proud
consciousness of having made good fight, even
If she was vanquished.

Reviving the Sugar Industry.

Washington Letter.
There is hope for the farmers yet. In these
days of agricultural vicissitudes, when wheat,
corn, tobacco, potatoes and farm products gener
ally do not actually return to these patient tillers
of the soil the outlay necessary for their produc
ton, they recognize that they must cast about for
something that will. But what that something
shall be none of them have far been able to dis
cover. Commissioner Colman is confident that he
has solved the problem for them in the production
of sorghum sugar, and certainly there seems to be
a CLEAN of hope in the interesting statement that
he makes as to the success of the government ex-
periments in progress at Fort Scott, Kansas.
Commissioner Colman has just returned from an
official visit to that place, and thinks that he
the usty infancy of a great industry for the Amer
lean farmer that will place him on his feet again,
and wholly do away with the necessity for the i'm
portaton of sugar into the United States. The
raising of sorghum is not O new idea, as it has
been many years since it was entered into in some
places upon q large scale and with great deal of
enthusiasm. But there were no good results,
principally because of the defective machinery
used. All these imperfections have been
overcome and where by the old process only forty
pounds of sugar could be obtained from ton OF
cane, more than one hundred pounds can be OBJ
tanned under the new process. The new process
is known as the diffusion or saturatiou process,
which does away with the old-time, costly and in
effective machinery, and saves much larger per-
centage of the cane juice at much less expense
By the old method fully one-half of it was lost
These experiments were made last year, but,
everything being new and untried, only fifty thou
sand pounds of sugar wero made, and it was, con-
sequently, considered failure AS at present
manufactured the cane is cut into chips and pass
ed into a battery of twelve cells, each holding
ton of chips. Hot water is then applied, which
exhausts the saccharine matter so thoroughly that
there is scarcely a trace of it left. The cells are
entirely practical being speedily filled, manipula-
ted and emptied, one man attending to the entire
operation. The process is as rapid as the old
method, less costly, and enables the manufacturer
to secure and utilize all the juice.
An Exhibition of Postage Stamps.
Scientific American.
nn international exhibition of postage stamps
is now in progress at Anvers, says foreign ex-
change. One exhibitor, Mr.. De Beer, has alone
sent thither million stamps. Among the varie-
ties to be at the exhibition is the Oldest post
age stamp in existence, belonging to the 18th cen
fury, and postal card that made the tour of the
world in 80 days. The latter belongs to Har-
lem schoolmaster, who would not part with it at

1t seems that there are no less than 100000
postage stamp collectors in the world, 375, 900 of
whom are Americans, 100000 are Europeans, and
$4,000 belong to other parts of the world.
